Setting focus/highlighting a field

input onfocus="this.select();"  This selects field when the field receives focus

or

document.getElementById("fieldName").select();  This highlights field


document.getElementById("FieldName").focus();   Just sets focus to field.

Setting focus on a Field at Program startup

The javascript Snippet:

        </form>
        <script
        type="text/javascript"
        language="javascript">
        document.getElementById("YourControlName").focus();
        </script>
        </body>
    

Ensure the Following:

• The javascript is placed after the close form tag
• The javascript is placed before the close body tag
• The @Page Directive SmartNavigation is not set to true
• The YourControlName highlighted above is replaced with your control's ID value

Another Way to accomplish setting focus to a specific field:

window.onload = function() {
  document.getElementById("TextBoxName").focus();
};
